    <p>I'm creating an alarm in my app from the <code>ItemEdit Activity</code>. Its where one can edit/view their note/todo item, they can also set a reminder/alarm for the item there. I set the alarm with the following code:</p> <pre><code>private void createAlarm() { Intent intent = new Intent(this, ReminderReceiver.class); intent.putExtra("reminder_message", "Reminder Received!"); intent.putExtra("item_id", mRowId); PendingIntent sender = PendingIntent.getBroadcast( getApplicationContext(), ALARM_ID, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT | PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT); // Get the AlarmManager service AlarmManager am = (AlarmManager) getSystemService(ALARM_SERVICE); // Set alarm to the time given by the user. am.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP, mReminderCal.getTimeInMillis(), sender); } </code></pre> <p>And here is the Receiver</p> <pre><code> public class ReminderReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { private static final String TAG = "MyApp"; @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { try { Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras(); String message = bundle.getString("reminder_message"); Log.v(TAG, message); } catch(Exception e) { Log.v(TAG, "OH SNAP!"); e.printStackTrace(); } } </code></pre> <p>Edit: Also I have the following in my manifest:</p> <p><code>&lt;receiver android:process=":remote" android:name="ReminderReceiver"&gt;&lt;/receiver&gt;</code></p> <p>If I stay in the <code>Activity</code> where I set the alarm it is received fine. If I hit the back button to return to my <code>ListActivity</code> where all the items are listed or leave the app entirely the alarm never triggers. Have I done something wrong in setting up my alarm that it only triggers from the Activity that set it?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

    1. COI was considering that. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how the flow of an Alarm works, but I figured the `AlarmManager` was OS wide and would fire regardless of what `Activity` was currently active. I could be wrong in this assumption though.

    2. CO@Jonathon. You were correct I got it working with a `Service` could you create an answer so I can give you credit?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
